In this special episode, I present a talk that was given in 1995 by my first Zen Teacher, Seisho Maylie Scott, Roshi. I first met Maylie in 1991 when I went to a meeting of the Zen Group there, where I lived for some years during that period. She speaks here in this talk of one of her teachers, Maureen Stewart, who she had become rather close to before Maureen passed away in 1990.

I saw her as a clear vessel of the deeper "Truths" that can sometimes arrive. Her only agenda seemed to be at attempting to help clear things up a bit for those who came to listen to her and sit.
